Belladonna Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Pozzie, If you want your AKMS to turn out nice and your going to still use that front end for your AKMS, might I suggest the following. For your FSB [Front Sight Block] you need to cut it at an angle, REALLY close to 90 but make it as slanted as possible. you should be able to just saw and do it then bondo it up with plastic or something to cover it on the back. If done right, it will make you AK FSB slimmer and give it the true look. Then for you Gas Block you can just use a file and cut it from a vertical one opposite it's 45 slant, to a 45 slant one just by filing. Then you should also bondo up the holes in the gas tube for the non vented type. Hope your project goes well! Thanks for the advice, ill probably just buy an akm sightblock off RMW (lazy) not sure what you meant about the angle of the gasblock, but what holes? there are nolonger holes in the gasblock one thing i DID know I was unaware the angle was differnt Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Its okay. Nice job lol. In one of the old archived AK threads a guy, myself included modded the TM Gas block and tube this way. Its fairly easy. All you have to do is use a file to match the other 45 degree angle in the gas block where the front sling swivel is. Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 took me a while to realise what you meant by that lol its currently becoming an akm gasblock as we speak Link to post Share on other sites

mrblah Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Mrblah thats actually the only acm AIMS i like, great job m8 Is it RMW reciver kit? its the DM kit. The receiver is nicer and thicker than inokatsu/rmw, but everything else that came with the kit is garbage when compared to the ino/rmw kit. I think i spent about a week sanding, finishing, filing, weathering, blah blah blah, to get it so it doesn't look like acme ######. The previous pictures was a mix of inokatsu and DM parts, but since i'm jobless/unemployed/with too much time on my hands, i'm trying to sell off the inokatsu parts, and fix the DM parts so its up to par with inokatsu's finish or at least until it doesnt scream acme. thanks guys for the compliments.
